Crystal Palace has filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport regarding their removal from the Europa League. UEFA expelled them for allegedly breaching multi-club ownership regulations linked to John Textor’s stake in both Palace and Lyon. Despite Textor's attempt to sell his stake to avoid conflict, UEFA's ruling was unaffected. Lyon, facing financial issues, managed to appeal their own exclusion and will participate in the Europa League next season. A verdict on Palace's appeal is expected by August 11, 2025.
Crystal Palace FC has lodged an appeal against their expulsion from the Europa League due to alleged breaches of UEFA's multi-club ownership regulations.
UEFA's decision followed claims of financial mismanagement leading to Lyon’s demotion from Ligue 1 and exclusion from European competitions.
John Textor, through Eagle Football Holdings, had a stake in both Crystal Palace and Lyon but attempted to reassure UEFA of his lack of control over Palace too late.
CAS confirmed receipt of the appeal and is set to deliver a verdict by August 11 regarding the case.
